You can download the game here : https://gamejolt.com/games/goldenhornet/298878

Or Steam page : http://store.steampowered.com/app/739260/Golden_Hornet/

Do you like helicopter games like choplifter or fort apocalypse ? I like them a lot, but I was disappointed that there are barely any remake / clone of choplifter or fort apicalypse, or even just a helicopter action game to enjoy today. So, i decided to make Golden Hornet, A game where you control a multi-role helicopter called 'Golden Hornet' to rescue hostages or destroy enemy positions.

In story wise this game is a prequel of my previous game Tujate, (defender clone without screen looping) where the second civil war was happening when Videl empire was a divided country.

There are Two game modes in This game :

1. Campaign mode : a mode that plays similar to Fort apocalypse. you have to explore levels and rescue hosstages or destroy the targets. there are Total 7 Chapters and each chapter has 3 levels.

2. Arcade mode : A mix of defender and choplifter. in a completely opened area, you have to rescue as many hostages as possible and get the highest score. Like choplifter, enemies will keep generating, but they don't disappear until you kill them. so don't waste your time !

Since this is the initial version there must be some issues i have to fix quickly. So please leave a feedback after playing it. Thank you !!!

Hello

Haven't had chance to play this yet as I'm not 100% sure that my gamepad will work with the twin stick thing. Got an Xbox 360 controller than might work, so hoping to dig that out soon and have a go. I have watched the video you've put on GameJolt, the action looks really frenetic - and it's beautifully retro. :) I think I'd be terrible at it though!!!

Just a cosmetic thing I've noticed, you've spelt 'Campaign' wrong. It's an 'n' on the end, not an 'h.' It appears to be incorrect in your description and in the game menu itself. Besides that, it looks spot on, well done. :)

Many changes on Arcade mode

- Now supports Online Scoreboard !

- You can earn Higher scores by lifting numerous hostages. To get the highest score, you have to lift 8 hostages at once.

- Bonus score at the end of the levels had doubled up.

- Killing enemies with machine gun doesn't earn any score. you have to use sub weapons to get it.

- Lots of balance fixes.

others...

- Added Title music. Many thanks to Minsik Kim (or his nickname, Pointless ) for making the music !

- Napalm bomb's falling speed had increased.

- Changed Doomsday bomb's effect so it won't hurt your eyes.

- Improved Arcade mode's radar ! Now you can check the enemies' position much better and you can see the area of the screen, which would be useful when you use Doomsday bombs.

- Decreased Super missile's range as it was needlessly long.

- Doomsday bomb now deletes pink pea bullets.

I have found someone who would help to publish Golden Hornet on steam. If possible, I'll publish it in a month. Of course, the price will be free
